Making a Priority of Faith

When we talk about what pleases God, I think we must put faith at the top of the list. Very simply, faith pleases God.

Hebrews 11—often called the faith chapter—makes it very clear how vital faith is to pleasing God. In fact, Hebrews 11:6 tells us,

But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Notice it doesn't say, "Without faith it is very difficult to please Him." No, it is impossible to please God without faith. You and I must learn to trust God if we are to bring a smile to the face of God.

Some people say, "Well, there is just too much teaching on faith." I disagree. Why? Because it takes faith to please God. Without it, we have no chance at all of pleasing Him. In fact, Hebrews 10:38 states,

Now the just shall live by faith; but if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him.

That is pretty black and white, isn't it? If you desire to please God, it starts with faith, trusting God completely.

I challenge you today to ask yourself, "Do I really trust God with every part of my life? Do I place my faith in Him moment by moment? Or do I refuse to trust Him as I should?"

If this is an area of struggle for you, determine today to spend time in the Word of God. For the Bible tells us that faith comes by hearing the Word of God. Ask God to speak to you through His Word. Your faith and trust in Him will grow. Our great God is worthy of your trust.

About Me

I'm a 78 year old lady who deeply loves her Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ! I desire more than anything for others to gain the perception and love of Christ as I do. We are here to glorify our Lord, as He glorified His Father. I am sadden by what we call Christianity today and, like Simeon, God has given me a vision to help others find their way back to God. It is a spiritual vision - a vision that I must help bring back His children into the present dispensational age, which is totally spiritual. The old dispensation is gone, passed away and if we continue to live by its rules and regulations, we are doomed. We must be spiritual! We must seek the Holy Spirit to dwell within us and teach us how to live by God's holy Word. We must pray! Pray! Pray for non-believers, pray for believers! Seek God's desires for our churches, for our lives, for our eternal security! And always honor and glorify Our heavenly Father and His only Son, our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ!
